The Story
A World of National Days
"Every nation marks its own founding, independence, or unity with a national day — this collection gathers them from across the globe."
The Countries Theme File covers 236 nations and territories, each represented by the date of its national day — Independence Day, Republic Day, Constitution Day, or another founding commemoration specific to its history.
274 notes make this one of UNC Museum's broadest collections — a numismatic atlas of the world's nations.
"236 nations. 274 notes. Every country's founding day, in Indian currency."
